The best ever!!

Laura did my wedding pictures, and I cannot say enough about her. Her work is amazing, and very personal. She truly wants to get to know you and your taste to make sure she gives you everything you have wanted and imagined. On the day of, she is so helpful and comforting-especially when you start to feel stressed out. I highly recommend Laura for any photography needs!! I promise, she won’t disappoint!

Laura was amazing!

Laura was incredibly organized, professional, and made sure every important moment was captured beautifully. Her attention to detail and ability to keep things running smoothly were truly impressive. At one point, we were even ahead of schedule (I feel like that never happens!) which I really appreciated so that we could have more time to hang out with each other and spend time with our guests! I relied on her expertise and knowledge when putting together the schedule of the day, and it went perfectly. She was also always there to answer any questions or make game-time decisions that I wasn't sure on! Truly went above and beyond!! The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and she made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. I really wanted photos that felt bright and not too edited, and that's exactly what we got! Truly an accurate representation of the day and so beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to help us remember our special day!!!!

Amazing experience and photos with Laura!

Laura was an incredible photographer to work with for our wedding! We booked her all day package that included 2 shooters and it was so worth it! You can tell how dedicated she is to her clients loving their photos and honoring their important events. Laura is a pro when it comes to helping with build a wedding timeline with plenty of time for photos and adapting on the day of as things get moved around in the schedule. She was so supportive on our wedding day! All our photos turned out beautiful and we were thrilled with all the special moments she captured!

You NEED Laura as your photographer!

Early on we knew that we wanted authentic, candid photos during our wedding and engagement session. Being individuals not super confident in front of the camera. Laura was a calming and reassuring presence. She was extremely organized from our first consultation to planning the timeline of events. On our wedding day, Laura arrived with bubbly enthusiasm and an eye for capturing every special moment.
Her ability to blend seamlessly into our day with our friends and family allowed her to capture the perfect moments.. We never felt posed or rushed; instead, Laura made us feel completely at ease, which allowed us to enjoy every moment of our day without worry. Her and her team were able to capture special moments with our family members and friends. Our photos are not just beautiful; they are a true reflection of our love and the atmosphere of our wedding.
Laura delivered a sneak peek swiftly after the wedding, and our full album well before the promised time. I also greatly appreciated the polaroids that she gave to us the night of the wedding. It was all a blur of events and having a few printed images to reflect on was the perfect way to end the day.
We couldn’t be happier with the beautiful memories she has captured for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding photographer.
Thank you Laura!

Laura is EXACTLY who you need on your wedding day

Seriously look no farther for a wedding photographer. Laura was such a blessing in our life from our first meeting together.
We had a hard time finding a photographer that was available, let alone one that responded to our inquiries. Within hours of us sending our inquiry, she emailed to set up a meeting. We had three different Zoom meetings where we got to know each other, set up a photo timeline for the wedding, and then planned for specific photos we knew we wanted that day. My favorite aspect of working with Laura was that she was more than our wedding photographer. She sent tips to remember for your wedding day, must-haves for the wedding that are often forgotten, and all other resources that were so helpful to have before the big day.
Wedding days can get so overwhelming, and Laura was the perfect person/photographer to work with to calm all of the wedding jitters. Looking back on our wedding, one of our favorite parts was our time with just us and Laura. She used that time to have us relax, connect, and spend time just us two which is so needed in the chaos of the day. Laura is exactly the person you want to be by your side throughout your wedding day.
PLUS I haven't even gotten to how beautiful her photos are. My husband and I aren't the most comfortable getting our photos taken, but I have never loved it. Since she got to know us as a couple prior to the wedding day, she was able to organically photograph our relationship perfectly. Laura's style is so natural, which can be hard to find these days. My biggest concern prior to hiring a photographer was that they would be highly edited and the photos wouldn't represent us as a couple. This was absolutely not a problem with Laura. I cannot rave about her photos enough.
Not only that, but she is so quick to get photos back to you are well. Our "sneak peaks" a couple of days after the wedding, were hardly sneak peeks. We got 30+ photos of every aspect of our day, and every photo was beautiful. She uses an online gallery that makes it easy to access and share your photos with loved ones, which she updates with new photos once they are ready.
So if you are looking for a summary here are our ratings of Laura:
10/10 professionalism: She showed up early and was so prepared for anything that happened (and helped us be prepared too!)
10/10 value: Our budget made it hard to find a wedding photographer for the whole day, but Laura's pricing is so fair. PLUS all the photos are amazing. I cannot say this enough, she should honestly be charging more for all of her hard work.
10/10 demeanor: I have a BIG family, and with that comes a lot of stress. Laura brought such a calming presence. As much as you plan your wedding, everything is NOT going to go according to plan. Not only did Laura go with the flow, but she also helped me stay in the moment and help me focus on what was really important: the love a couple shares and celebrating that on their wedding day.
10/10 timeliness: We got our photos back quickly and they were incredible! Plus her sharing platform is user-friendly and easy to share with family.
Seriously, stop looking for a photographer and hire Laura for your photography needs you will be so glad you did.

Awesome photographer with a great outgoing personality!

Laura is so amazing at what she does! She has been my photographer through it all, and captured mine and my now husband’s beautiful engagement and wedding pictures. She makes the sessions so fun, and is such a wonderful person to work with. Laura has a great personality and is the sweetest person ever. I don’t have any regrets about having her as my engagement/wedding photographer and would recommend her to anyone! When she took our engagement pictures I of course had to include mine and my husbands dog in on the pictures. I’m sure I didn’t make it easy for Laura since our dog has so much energy, but she still managed to capture some awesome photos!! Not to mention she got a million bug bites from making her stand in the weeds in the September air for the perfect photo. She definitely goes above and beyond to make sure you will be happy with your photos.

Family Photographer FOREVER

Laura was SO nice, easy, and FUN to work with! My husband and I were living an 1.5 hrs away from our wedding town (and her town) but she accommodated our CRAZY schedule for engagement photos! Also, she coached us on how to position ourselves, she made us laugh, and helped fix my hair! She is so generous and gives you SO MANY edited photographs to have! She will be our family photographer as long as she's shooting! We can't wait for family photos with her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
